The news that the Planetary Alliance's Orville spacecraft successfully rescued nearly 10,000 "missing persons" imprisoned in the Kallivan Zoo from the Calivans instantly pushed the originally inconspicuous Planetary Alliance dominated by humans on Earth.

On top of the storm.

Immediately afterwards, after the rescued persons were sent back to their respective civilized planets, at least thousands of civilized administrative units sent messages of thanks, communications or congratulatory messages to the Planetary Alliance. This caught the Planetary Alliance off guard and at the same time, it also

He will have a strong sense of presence and his reputation on the cantilever of the Milky Way Earth will reach a new level.

then!

Relevant personnel of the Orville, such as the acting captain Arora who successfully rescued Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly, were naturally promoted to captain and received awards from the Planet Alliance headquarters, becoming the direct victims of this incident.

One of the beneficiaries.

Of course, whether it is the crew of the Orville, the Planetary Alliance, or the Calivans, they all know that things are not as reported outside, and the actual credit has not much to do with Alola.

, however, in view of some inhumane factors, in the end, with the tacit understanding of all parties, it was Captain Arora, the Hilian security officer, who took all the responsibility.

Then, after the commendation, the matter ended in a hurry.

And a certain instigator is still stranded on the Orville as the 'distinguished guest', except that the Planetary Alliance secretly sent a senior member of the Alliance to visit the Orville one day after the 'Cullivan Incident' and

Other than meeting someone, nothing much changes.

As for someone who had done something extremely heinous, such as seizing the Orville by force, no one wanted to mention it at all. The entire Planet Alliance Headquarters and Fleet Headquarters acted in a tacit agreement to act deaf and dumb, as if

It's like nothing happened.

But the people on the Orville knew that things had quietly changed. At least, as far as they knew, the little girl who seemed to be omnipotent had received a very high level of authority.

Is it equal to or equivalent to the existence of Captain Ed?

When another ten or twenty days passed, and everything calmed down, the only thing that made everyone on the Orville think about it and couldn't figure it out was: what exactly did their little acting captain launch on the Calivans that day?

, only then did things take a 180-degree turn?

In this regard, the Calivans did not say anything, and a certain troubled little girl did not mention it herself. No valuable records were found on the Orville, and then, this matter became a mystery inexplicably.

Eucalyptus has become the biggest unsolved mystery of this century, and has been puzzling everyone on the Planetary Alliance and the Orville.

Soon, those things gradually passed, and no one mentioned it again for the time being, because a lot of new news happened on the Orville, such as the egg laid by the second officer Petrus was hatched, and the other party was happy to have a baby.

There is a woman, but for some reason she prefers boys over girls. She is also clamoring for the ship's doctor Claire to help with a sex reassignment operation. This has caused a stir on the Orville. Moreover, the Orville has now received a new mission to save the planet and must do so within a time limit.

Complete and so on.

Fortunately, the incident at Second Officer Pettus's house was ruthlessly rejected by Captain Ed on the grounds that it violated many laws of the Star Alliance. The other party temporarily stopped and did not cause more trouble.

Everyone was finally able to take a breath and focus on a more important task.

"!

"

"captain!"

"Found that bastard!"

After the Orville searched for a certain orbit in this star field for several days, they finally found their mission target before the limited time came - it was a dark planet, even if there is an orbit in the universe

Irregular asteroids that are also extremely difficult to detect.

It turns out that the Planetary Alliance's space station observed the asteroid and learned that it would hit a certain planet in the near future and threaten the evolving life on the planet. Therefore, based on the principles of fairness and justice and respecting the right of all life to evolve,

The Alliance of Planets headquarters dispatched the Orville, a heroic ship that had become famous recently but had nothing to do, to perform the rescue mission.

And this is why helmsman Gordon, navigator John and others cheered directly on the bridge after finding the target.

"Where is it?"

|?˙?˙)

At this time, Anne happened to be hanging around on the bridge, so before Captain Ed could say anything, she couldn't wait to run between Gordon and John, and stood on tiptoes and stared out the porthole with her eyes wide.

Look.

"Yeah! Is that it?"

!(;?o?)o

"It doesn't look very big!"

(lll￢▽￢)

Then soon, Anne saw the boring lump of stone, which was only a few times the size of the Orville at most.

"According to observations, its radius is nearly 300 meters at its smallest point and more than 600 meters at its largest point."

"Given that the atmosphere of the planet in front is thin, if it continues to advance at the current speed and collides, at least 99% of the life on that planet will be extinct."

"We have to crush it as soon as possible or change its trajectory."

After hearing Anne's words, Isaac, the engineer sitting at his post not far from the bridge, directly told what he observed, and listed a series of data on the porthole of the bridge, such as the crushing

What is the maximum radius of the debris that cannot be exceeded, or where the booster needs to be installed to change its orbit, etc.

"I saw."

"How much time does it have until it hits the planet?"

Seeing that the target he had been searching for for many days was finally found, Captain Ed, who had been tortured by various things in the past few days, finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly.

"Report to Captain."

"We have one month and seventeen days left."

“Very generous.”

"But if you choose to crush it, the optimal operation time is only seventeen minutes. This can ensure that under the interference of the star's gravity, its fragments will not cause harm to the planet at all."

"After seventeen minutes, if you can't crush it, you can only try to change its trajectory."

Almost instantly, the robot Isaac answered Captain Ed's question and placed an accurate countdown directly on the screen in the large porthole of the bridge.

"Seventeen minutes?"

"enough!"

"Lieutenant Rama!"

"Now, activate the laser cutting light and we'll chop it up!"

After taking a look at the countdown, without waiting for Captain Ed to speak, First Officer Kelly on the side directly ordered the weapons technician.

"clear!"

Almost at the moment when the countdown started, Lieutenant Rama completed his work and fired a laser cutting beam from the main gun on the bow of the Orville to the star that they were tightly locked on and kept running in sync.

The asteroid shines away.

"ha!"

(?ω?)

"It seems like fun, let people come!"

??(???*)

Seeing this, before the gunner next to the weapons technician started working, Anne cheered, couldn't wait to run to the opponent's side and pushed him away from his post arrogantly.

"this!"

"Ship, Captain?"

As a last resort, the officer who was pushed out of his seat and still didn't dare to disobey had to look for help at Captain Ed behind him.

After all, Anne now has a very high reputation and strength, and he does not dare to provoke or disobey her easily.

"okay."

"Just let her play for a while!"

After waving his hand to signal the man to quickly give up his seat, Ed muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"It's no use looking for me!"

In Ed's view, Anne is now the best in terms of reputation, authority, status or force on the Orville. Even his and Kelly's lives were saved by the other party.

Therefore, as long as the ship is not blown up, he will pay as little attention as possible to other matters or ignore them at all.

But Digu returned to Digu, and the mission still had to be completed. It was a major matter related to the life and death of a planet, and there was no room for sloppiness.

"Annie!"

"You only have seventeen...no, sixteen minutes!"

"Don't screw it up!"

Therefore, even if he had known Annie's ability for a long time, knew that the opponent would have no problem attacking the battleship, and there should be no surprises in cutting that kind of asteroid, Ed thought about it, and still had to warn him cautiously.

"Yeah! Got it!"

(?￣?￣?) Okay

Annie responded impatiently, and then began to operate, using the laser beam to quickly cut on the asteroid.
To be continued...
